Triple's Skill Up

Triple is the method that require you to step on more than one notes with either one or both of your feet. Although sometimes certain songs would require both of your leg to step on two notes so in total you are stepping on four notes at the same time, but we still consider this one as triple skill.

What's good about it

Triple notes are consider less complicated because the pattern is fixed. For single mode, you usually don't need to step for four notes at one time unless the notes appear at both red and both blue. So no matter how many triple notes are there, you just need to know which triple notes you need to step. For double, it's a little harder but the pattern are all the same. So if you train well on this and good with most of the triple notes, having triple notes in the higher level wouldn't be a big problem for you.

What's bad about it

One huge problem for triple notes is that, it can be really tricky especially for double mode. Sometimes you need to step on the two middle notes while dealing with the notes on the side. The notes is not the big deal, just that you might have a sudden thought to decide if you want to use both of your leg to step on the two middle notes and then deal with the side notes, or you want to use step on middle notes with one leg and another leg to deal with side notes. This is more challenging when the notes between each triple and/or side notes are nearer with each other and you need to decide quickly on how to step on them properly. So drilling with triple notes is one of the great challenge.

Another hard thing is that, your game pad need to be really good in order to respond to triple notes. You can press really hard when dealing with triple notes, but it's futile if the pad doesn't respond properly to triple notes. If you are playing in the arcade center, you can only hope the technician really understand the importance of game pad sensitivity.

Lastly, it's not really that important but perform triple on double especially when you need to deal with middle notes and the side note at the same time can make you seems like crab walking.

Triple: How to train?

First of all, it could be tough and you can't control it, or you don't know how to control it, but you must get the game pad fixed and make sure it's good enough to handle triple notes. Any good skill without a proper game pad won't work, no matter how hard you try.

Getting a proper shoe is also crucial (unless you are playing with barefoot). I don't have any good recommendation for the type of shoe you should buy but I personally experience that sport shoe with flexible outer skin and flat bottom is usually fine for triple and running notes.

As for the training on the triple notes, basically you have to play various type of song that focus on triple notes to get yourself familiar with the pattern, especially for double. When you tried lots of different pattern, eventually you know the proper way to step on various kind of triple notes, and after that it's up to how accurate you can get.
